Combining the Flavors
In a mixing bowl, crack in 2 eggs, add 1/2 cup of sugar, 1/2 cup of oil, 1 tablespoon of jam, and 1/2 cup of yogurt. Give it a good whisk until all the ingredients are beautifully combined.
Adding the Zing
Grate the zest of one lemon into the mixture. This adds a burst of freshness that complements the sweetness of the cookies perfectly.
Creating the Base
Slowly add the durum or soft wheat semolina into the mixture, stirring continuously. Incorporate 1 tablespoon of baking powder as you go, ensuring everything is well mixed. Finish it off with a pinch of salt to balance the flavors.
Shaping and Coating
Rolling into Bliss
Form the dough into small balls and roll them in powdered sugar. This not only adds a touch of sweetness but also gives the cookies a beautiful, crumbly texture.
Baking to Perfection
Preheating the Oven
Before popping your cookies in, preheat your oven to 392 degrees F for the ideal baking environment.
Time to Bake
Place your sugar-coated dough balls on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and let them bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes. Keep an eye on them – you want them to be golden brown and irresistible.
